setting u apache issue

[cyjetsu]

I have read apache docs.

I have entered document root:
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
DocumentRoot "C:/operator1/oex-onmedias/primary"

So now apparently, when I type "http://www.onmedias.com/" in my browser, it would display C:/operator1/oex-onmedias/primary/index.html, but it does not work! Why?

Another question, how would I then be able to browse my actual website on my web host after I have uploaded it to my online server if the url is the same? it would only take me to the local server.

Last question, how would I set up multiple local websites on apache? Do I need to do a new apache install for each website? Or if not, how do I divide doc-root urls and domains of multiple sites in my config file?

This could be several reasons; it depends on the rest of the config file. However, first of all you can only define one DocumentRoot, so comment out or delete the first line (DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs").
You'll also need a bit in the configuration file that says:
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html
</IfModule>

You need to look into Apache virtual hosts. They're quite easy to set up, but you [i]will[-i] need to read and understand the documentation first. Look at Apache Virtual Host documentation for more information.
